Congratulations to Maika, Dylan, Megan, and Emily for their accomplishments and best wishes to each for continued success.”
Established in 2001, the Liberty Bank Scholarship Program awards a total of $4,000 to each winning student . The monetary award is paid out in four annual installments of $1,000. The scholarship committee selects one winner from Alton High School, Civic Memorial High School, Marquette Catholic High School and a fourth at-large scholarship for a student from any other area high school.
"The Liberty Bank Scholarship Program is one of the community programs we are pleased to provide. Each year we distribute $16,000 to sixteen current and past winners to assist with their educational expenses. With the monetary award commitments to our four 2016 winners, the bank has now surpassed $250,000 in scholarship awards. Our goal with the program is to honor young residents who are excellent students, emerging leaders and who demonstrate a commitment to giving back to their respective communities," stated Liberty Bank President Dale Blachford.
